A nickname for Al Franken?

[Wetzelbill]

Al Franken deserves a nickname after his performance in talking down an angry crowd. I vote for the one from TPM today:

The Tea Bag Whisperer


Please list your own. :)

6. My choices were:

1.Weed Whacker
2.Marco
3.Chimpy Nuts
4.Baby Buns
5.Lonely Guy

Let's see 5 is out and 4 is a maybe (turns and looks at his butt). 2 is a no. (Opens his underware) What qualifies as Chimpy nuts? oh never mind!

Yes, Weed Whacker. That's it!

4. You know what's going to make Al Franken a great senator

He listens. He heard what the people were saying to him and responded with compassion and truth. I'm thinking of the clip I seen of him with the angry crowd that you're talking about.

5. Big Al

He'd probably hate that one though.

7. The Conscience

Al Franken, the Conscience of the Senate

11. Al "Fearless" Franken...

Al is afraid of nothing, especially a bunch of tea-bagging weenies...

[Wetzelbill]

13. he really is

I respect him more and more every day.

[ClearPresentDanger]

12. He actually has a bit called 'Reasonable Man'

"That man ain't talkin' no trash."

couldn't find it, he was on leno or letterman doing it.

[CTyankee]

14. My RW brother in law called him a "carpet bagger." He swears Al is from out of MN.

In informed him that Al was born and raised in MN. He said "No, he wasn't." I said "Well, don't let the facts get in your way..."

[quiet.american]

16. I used to pooh-pooh a study that showed RWers get 2x as stupid when presented w/facts. Not anymore!

(Not meaning to call your brother-in-law stupid, but what is it that makes them double-down into their delusions when the truth is presented?)

[Wetzelbill]

19. there was a study this week

Where out of like 50 RWers who were for something like the war in Iraq, when presented with facts that Saddam wasn't involved only one of them could accept that. No matter how much was shown otherwise they just would refuse to believe it. I'll have to find it, I didn't give the best description of it just off of my head, but basically there was no changing the minds of nearly every one of them, no matter what. Once they decided they just decided and no fact could change it. For me, that's amazing that people think that way. I truly believe that if Obama came into office, or even Bill Clinton when he was elected, and tried to implement the same policies Bush did, they'd fight him and hate him for it just as bad. They're just like that.

22. You're so right. It's like a small army of the deranged. nt

[Wetzelbill]

17. hahaha

Where's Al's birth certificate!?!?!

[Dj13Francis]

15. What about the obvious?

Stuart Smalley goes to Washington! And gosh darnit, people like him. Except the righties... Them not so much.

[imdjh]

18. "Dildo" Take some time to imagine how a twisted mind would consider this a good nickname.

It fits in with the notion of the Tea Bag Whisperer, trust me.

[LLStarks]

20. Frankenberry. nt
